Excellent rendition of the two birds. The blurring of the background is just right to enhance the two birds👍. The balance of sharpness, blurring, and blurring is pleasant.🌟✨
Dear morgaine, this is gorgeous. I love the colours and the pattern from the salt. You gave these birds real life! flying over that misty water as the sun is beginning to rise. What incredible creatures these birds are 😍 Thanks for showing 😊
A wonderful class, the birds and background are beautiful! The salt technique is something I have wanted to become more proficient in! I’m going to practice and practice! Your calming voice leads me to believe I can do it! Thanks, Karen Dirmish
Lovely painting and you’ve inspired me to paint. I love these birds that I see in the US at rivers near by. One thing that fascinates me is that they have to be very careful to select the right size fish to eat. They could actually choke themselves and die. I like their prehistoric call.
Truly beautiful. The Great Blue is a sub-species I'm unfamiliar with.. As with the many type of Tit, the differences are only found with an expert eye. I'd really love to see how you'd present a Hoopoe. I did see one once in Bird world near Farnham, but that was in the 70s and I don't remember it. The reason I thought of that is because of the way the wingtip feathers spread on Herons, it similar on a Hoopoe. You may know of her, I don't know, but there an amazing watercolourist called Louise De Masi. Her style and methods are a million miles from most. She tends toward the highly detail end of the spectrum. But to wee her in action is simply mind boggling. Covering quite a range of subject, but she seems to excel in birds, and I know that's close to your heart. I recommend her channel strongly, just to see how she approaches her paintings. Them look at dearly missed Bob Ross and compare. And yet both are talented artists. Not suggesting that you should change your own style, it's your calling card, and keeps many peopel coming back for more. Bob Ross painted from his imagination and came up with works that could be called "general", as most of them could be of anywhere, the type of work you create is more "inspire", where an image prompts your mind to interpret the image in it's own way. Then there's people like Louise, that are pretty much perfectionists, that feel obliged to recreate a photo almost exactly, and tend toward coming under a heading of "precise". Look at me prattling on like you've all the time in the world to indulge the remblings of an old man... Hehehe Just something you may enjoy, watching Louise that is. Otherwise, it's just me doing my politicain bit, you know, blowing pointless hot air about.. LOL Take care sweet lady. TTFN
Thank you Morgaine, I love your.wetlands paintings! I sketched the sandhill cranes in one of your other beautiful paintings by hand, but I'm wondering if there is a trick to copying these or do you just free draw them while looking at the photo? Which would of course be very good practice for me!
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m afraid there is no trick, just sketching the rough shapes quickly by eye, then filling in detail. However, a handy tip is to take a copy or a tracing of your sketch once it’s completed, so just in case the painting goes wrong during any stage, all your hard work drawing hasn’t been lost! ❤
